chop felt last seconds time
We wanted to chop up those last 16 seconds with some fouls. We felt Gabe (Landau) got one at the time line, but it wasn't called. So (Henderson) penetrated and got right down the lane.
collapsing free people scoring start touches
We have got to get him touches at the basket. Everything we do has to start in his hands. Even when he's not scoring with a drop-step or a hook, people are collapsing on him and that's going to free up Brandon and Gabe for some jump-shot opportunities.
gold knew shoot
Fool's gold. We knew we were in for a tussle, the way (the Spartans) can shoot it.
free playoff throws
It's playoff time, you've got to do everything right, and free throws are a big part of it.
grabbed guys leave offensive reluctant shot somebody stepped weapons wish
Do I wish somebody would have stepped in there and grabbed him before he got that shot off? Absolutely. But at the same time, with so many offensive weapons out there, guys were reluctant to leave the shooters.
achieve boys goals happy hard mark worked
It was one of our goals to get to the 20-win mark and I was really happy for the boys that they were able to get that done. They worked real hard to achieve that.
difference start
It makes a big difference when Shaun is active, everything we do I want to start with his hands.
character guys hard integrity losing picked program rather seniors shoulders
It's hard to say good-bye to seniors who have picked your program up and put it on their shoulders and do it with the integrity and character that they did. Losing is losing, but I'd much rather keep these guys around.
bench words
We used words like monumental, gigantic. He was really big off the bench for us.
conference decide definitely rest tone
We're colliding awfully early. I don't think it will decide the conference championship, but it will definitely set the tone the rest of the way.
against defense good last offensive played potent seven six tonight
We played as good a defense tonight as we have played in the last six or seven games, in my opinion, against a very potent offensive team.
game good keeping slowing spreading style terrific
They had a terrific game plan: spreading us out, slowing the game down and keeping us in the 50s. We had to win this game in a style that we've not had to do yet. The good thing was, we did.
five full guard guys hands next quickness terrific
They have terrific quickness to the basket. All five guys can make baskets. You have to guard them all. We're going to have our hands full next game.
five guys playing running sharing
That's when we're at our best, when five guys are playing defense, five guys are running and we're sharing the ball.
